Subasinghe, Ambassador of Sri Lanka Introduction of Special Guests Background to Sri Lankan New Year o Sashi Selvendran, Young Professionals for International Cooperation Banquet commences Dancers Background When the sun moves from Pisces to Aries, the Sinhalese Buddhists and Tamil Hindus of Sri Lanka come together to celebrate a common holiday – the Sri Lankan New Year, known as Avurudhu in Sinhalese, and Puththandu in Tamil. Celebrated for more than 2,500 years, this ancient holiday commemorates the celebration of the start of the new year based on the zodiac calendar, typically falling in mid-April, the month of Bak. This year the actual date was on April 13. One of the remaining authentic folk celebrations, Avurudhu and Paththandu stands as a monument to a people whose lives, to a large extent, still revolve around the grace of Mother Nature and her most domineering subject, the sun. In a period of conflict, the Sri Lankan New Year symbolizes ethnic harmony where two distinct ethnic groups celebrate one brand new day in the month of April. The New Year also coincides with the time when the harvest ends - a sign of fertility - when trees bear fruit and flower bloom, so colorful fruit from lush trees are collected in bulk to fuel week-long celebrations.

  • List of Attorneys
    LIST OF ATTORNEYS In the Consular District of Colombo (Updated May, 2018) The Consular District of Colombo is comprised of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and the Republic of Maldives. In providing this listing the American Embassy at Colombo assumes no responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms whose names appear in the list given below. The firms listed are arranged alphabetically and the order in which they appear has no other significance. Free legal aid is also available. In compiling this list the Embassy has accepted recommendations, as well as seeking out attorneys through direct contact, and the names are subsequently referred to the Sri Lankan Bar Association to see if they are in good standing. If so, the names are included in the list without further research. Although the Embassy has used care in compiling this list, we cannot guarantee or otherwise assume responsibility for the professional competence or integrity of the persons or individuals whose names are listed. In this connection, the Embassy would appreciate receiving your comments, favorable, as well as unfavorable concerning the performance of the attorney that you choose. Such comments will assist the Embassy in the annual review of the list and your fellow American citizens as well. We also wish to point out that many reputable lawyers have chosen not to be included on this list; consequently, no negative connotation can be drawn from the absence of a name from the list. If you have chosen a Sri Lankan attorney whose name is not on the list, the Embassy will upon request, verify whether the attorney is licensed by the Sri Lankan Bar Association, and has no substantiated complaints registered with the Embassy by former clients.
